Hey, you don't have to worry about spelling. LJ lets you spellcheck your entries before posting. ;-)
As for the 'open forum' aspect, it took me awhile to get used to that, too. The Good Doctor had an account loooong before I was interested in parading my life around on the internet. I still don't use my real name in conjunction with my journal, and it's only been recently that I've let Dr. M link to me in his... he's much more public with his personal info. Me, I just kinda like to keep to myself. I write mostly about personal stuff... the day-to-day drivel that I doubt many people find interesting, but then again... that's the kind of stuff I most like to read. :)
My audience is small - I mostly use my LJ to keep up with friends and family - so I figure they know what I'm up to anyway. Kinda takes the pressure off. And when I want to write about stuff I'd rather not have everyone see, I just use my "not family" or some other filter! It works out great.
